Alternate Ways to Call the Setup Player
InstallShield 2024
Project:
It is not necessary to call the Setup Player from a Web page. It is possible to call the Player from other sources such as a login script or a Visual Basic or Visual C/C++ application. Any programming tool that supports ActiveX controls can call the Player.
Sample Visual Basic Script for Calling the Player
Dim player, ether
Set player = CreateObject("Setup.Player.Automation Interface Version")
Set ether = player.open("http://www.mydomain.com/mysetup")
If ether.IsPlaying() Then
MsgBox "Setup is running."
Else
MsgBox "Setup is not running."
End If
Set player = Nothing
Set ether = Nothing
